Piddle Valley Parish Council

The Parish Council has its own website at piddlevalley-pc.org.uk but find some useful information and links below.

PARISH COUNCIL Meetings

The Parish Council meets in Piddletrenthide Memorial hall, normally on the last Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm. Meetings start with a ‘Democratic Period’ when any local resident can personally raise direct to the Council any matter that affects the Valley community. So if you have an issue, contact your Parish Councillor or raise it at the start of the next meeting.

Dates of future Parish Council meetings can be found on our What’s On page.

Minutes of the meetings are published on their website, so if you don’t want your name published please state this before speaking.

Find agendas, draft and approved minutes here.
